I suspect it's a speedo cable, so, is your speedometer working?

yup it isa speedometer cable, i snapped mine about a month ago, best to get a one piece cable , so it will have a less chance of snapping in the future.

Its the two part cable which allows it to stay out the way of other stuff. You Sporting owners won't understand.

It depends on which cluster you have. The later one piece cable will fit the later cluster. It seems that the early cluster is only up to 94.

Cheers
